 The h.lfho devotional exercists was led by Rev. ,. c. Eberhart, of Pres- cott, and vas closed by a- short talk by Bishop Walden, on memorising the 5a hymns selected by Rev. c. c. McCobe, by memorising one each Sunday.

port:
OFfrcR OF THE COMMISSIONERS,
DISTRICT or CoLrrBIl.
WASHINGTON, Dec i, 1887.
TIE PRESIDENT: The Commissioners Of the Dis
trict OF Columbia pursuant to the requirements OF
the organic law Of said District, hereby submit for
transmission 20 Congress their annual report OF
their oicial doings In detail during the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1857.
They also take this opportunity TO present their
views on various District matters OF general con-
Germ which, In their Judgment, should receive the
consideration OF Congress during the coming ses-
sion
The details Of their transactions are mainly con-
tanned In the reports OF the subordinate depart
ments and Offices hereto appended, but for more
ready reference the substance OF those reports Is
also presented here in a summarized form.
The Commissioners transmit herewith, as part OF
their official doings copies OF the orders OF gene
raj nature made by them during the fiscal year
embraced In this report. Among those orders are
those made In pursuance OF the laws authorizing
the Commissioners to make police regulations TO
regulate steam engineering, ana copy Of the order
providing for the registration Of plumbers, to the
preparation OF which the Commissioners devoted
much labor and care. This was particularly so
with regard TO the police regulations. Nearly
every practice prohibited or controlled thereby
had been the subject Of frequent complaints and
the Commissioners action was designed to meet
what appeared TO be the general wish concerning
them, or what In their judgment was demanded
by the public interest.
I; would have been almost impossible TO cover
the ground embraced In these regulations without
involving some case Of hardship, and some OF the
first regulations were modified where the public
benefit sought to be conferred was found not TO be
Commensurate with the dissatisfaction caused, but
the Commissioners infer from the limited criticism
the regulations entaied, as so amended, that they
have caused minimum amount OF private fncon-
yenience compared with the public interests they
subserve.
The following Is q statement OF the receipts and
expenditures for said fiscal year, the details or
which are forth in the report Of the auditor OF
the District submitted herewith:

The liability incurred on account of the extern
son OF the water supply to the cities Of WASH
